This name came to my attention as that of the sister of
Ted Hughes (
Sylvia Plath's husband.) Apparently
Olwen is the original form but she spelled it
Olwyn. It's Welsh and while there are two Welsh names I love,
Bronwen and
Carys, this one I think is awful. It has always struck me whenever I've read about Plath how awful this name is.
But I thought I'd see if there are any
Olwen /
Olwyn fans out there. WDYT?
